How long before they have a battery invented which will allow an Android phone to play video for 24 consecutive hours?

I could probably do that currently if I set the brightness to the lowest setting and put it in airplane mode. I got 9 hours 18 minutes of 720P high bitrate AVI file playing at full brightness with full volume in the most recent test of my 3500 mAH extended battery.

Hi. I think I'm going to have to order a 3500 battery. What brand did you get and where did you order it from and how much did you pay?

thanks

Well I have an Epic 4g on Sprint first of all. I ordered the 3500 mAH battery off of ebay. They sell for around 12 dollars currently, shipped.

Ok. I have an Evo. I looked on eBay for batteries a bit ago, and I didn't see the 3500 going for that cheap... I'll have to look again.

Is there a Moore's law for batteries?

Definitely not. It's been quite a while since there was a major breakthrough in battery technology. It' still the biggest thing holding back electric cars.

Wait until we have nano construction. You'll have batteries that last for hundreds of hours.

The problem is every time there is any battery advancement, they use it to make the phones smaller instead of extending battery life.

never. once we start packing 2ghz, 4ghz processors in the phone, we'll contiuously need a bigger battery.

in other words, nothing will ever be good again. i miss my RAZ-R :)
